| Charles Ives
A rare experience of a moment at daybreak, when something in nature seems to reveal all consciousness, cannot be explained at noon. Yet it is part of the day's unity. Expression, to a great extent, is a matter of terms, and terms are anyone's. The meaning of 'God' may have a billion interpretations if there be that many souls in the world. If a composer has a nice wife and some nice children, how can he let the children starve on his dissonances? If a poet knows more about a horse than he does about heaven, he might better stick to the horse, and some day the horse may carry him into heaven. In 'thinking up' music I usually have some kind of a brass band with wings on it in back of my mind. Vagueness is at times an indication of nearness to a perfect truth. You cannot set art off in a corner and hope for it to have vitality, reality, and substance. |
